Nextmanup Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 Interesting fact: there have been 511 head coaches in the NFL, all time. THREE (3) of them have coached into their 70s. 1) George Hallas 2) Marv Levy 3) Pete Carroll Pete has only done it for one year, as he turned 70 this season. Hallas and Levy are the only 2 guys IN NFL HISTORY to coach for multiple years into their 70s. Bill Belichick is 69 and turns 70 in April. The data suggests that the grind of being an NFL head coach catches up to you in your late 60s and these guys just can't do it much past that. What do you think? Quote
ColoradoBills Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 I'm thinking he retires at halftime of Saturday's game. If that doesn't happen, I think he is all in with money and future picks for one more try next season. 5 5 1 Quote
streetkings01 Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 I think Josh Allen eventually forces him into retirement much like Jim Kelly did Don Shula. 5 Quote

He's 38 wins away from topping Shula as the all time winningest coach. He's HUGE on the history of the NFL. Even if it would seem he wouldn't care less I believe he stays until he breaks that mark. EDIT: Corrected Number of wins needed. Had said around 50...turns out it's 38 Edited January 14, 2022 by No Place To Hyde 1 1 Quote
GunnerBill Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 I think he will coach next year and the following year so long as his health stays good. Can see him retiring before they have to make any kind of decision on Mac. 1 Quote
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 Saturday is it for him after he gets his azz kicked again! Good riddance you cheating piece of dog *****. 1 1 Quote

I think as the Pats are currently constituted you are talking 5 years minimum and more like 7. Coaching in the NFL these days aged 76? Not sure I see that. 1 2 Quote

He isn’t going anywhere till he breaks Shula win record. After that he will retire the end of that year. So I say another 4 years? 2 1 Quote

I see it as long as he's healthy. He reminds me of the kind of guy that works his whole life and passes away 3 months after retiring. Just nothing else left. As long as he can, I believe he will Quote
